Whisper Words Of Wisdom

Whisper Down The Write Alley is a place for students of writing to share whispered words of wisdom–not know it all shouts, or slashes of red pen.

Whisper Down The Write Alley is a place to be thoughtful, caring, and considerate, a place to share what works for each of us as writers trying to change the world word by word.

Whisper Down The Write Alley has evolved to be a place to come for information about literary, cultural and eco events, a place with information for students in southern California, and, in particular, students at Ventura College interested in cultural, literary, and ecological events as well as service learning.

In the meantime, remember the lyrics from “Let It Be’

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

Yeah, let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
